CLARK street

– Clark Street, located in the stunning Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, is the recently renovated bigger brother of Othmer Hall. Its reputation precedes itself, and Clark resembles — perhaps more than any other NYU residence hall — a hotel. Offering a diverse selection of housing options including low-cost triples and suites, every arrangement in the hall is furnished with a television, refrigerator and microwave. The rooms are also well-lit by the natural sunlight that simmers in, providing a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere that is perfect for students to destress in after a long day. Although Clark lacks individual kitchens in each room and instead offers a communal kitchen, the residence hall is well-equipped with other amenities: a library, pool tables, flat-screen televisions and even a movie screening room. Along with the year-round programming facilitated by resident assistants and the student government, Clark possesses a genuinely communal ambiance perfect for making new connections with fellow students and staff. With a five-minute walk to the subway, relatively new facilities and a supportive staff setting, Clark is ideal for any undergraduate looking for a comfortable living situation alongside a rich, edifying community.

VIA SUBWAY TO WSP

– Othmer Hall, located in downtown Brooklyn, is the 18-story residence hall primarily for Tandon School of Engineering students. Home to over 400 residents in both traditional and apartment style suites, Othmer offers spacious and cozy rooms for mechanical engineers and mathematicians alike. Each suite provides a refrigerator and microwave, while also offering shared amenities throughout the building, such as 13 community lounges with televisions and comfortable sofas. The building also boasts its own laundry room, but most notable of this dorm is its community atmosphere pervasive in this residence hall. The 12 resident assistants come together to facilitate events — be it social, academic or professional — for students throughout the year. Leading up to the residence hall is a beautiful mini-promenade, with trees lining both sides. After a snowfall, the area is reminiscent of picturesque winter greeting cards, and on warmer days, it is a great place to meander or study. To accommodate for the notoriously rigorous curriculum that is engineering, Starbucks and other dining options are also just a five minute walk from the residence hall.
